Celebrating Trotsky's murder
In 2021 several leading Democratic Socialists of America members celebrated the anniversary of Leon Trotsky's murder by Ramon Mercader. Those retweeting or “liking” these posts comprise a Rolodex of the DSA leadership.
Nickan Fayyazi, a member of the YDSA’s National Coordinating Committee leadership body and co-chair of the YDSA’s UC Berkeley chapter, presents a photo of an ice pick with the caption “this might come in handy today,” alongside other vulgar language. This was retweeted by Dary Rezvani, a prominent member of the Los Angeles Democratic Socialists of America.[1]
The tweet about the ice pick was “liked” by over 100 people, including many DSA members, as well as the following DSA leaders and prominent members:
- Jacobin contributor Gabriel Patrick
- New York City Democratic Socialists of America Steering Committee member Jake Colosa
- UVA YDSA organizer Madison Perry
- Baltimore Democratic Socialists of America labor organizer Ryan Kekeris
